An electrolyte for metal-air batteries, which is able to inhibit the self-discharge of metal-air batteries, and a metal-air battery using the electrolyte. The electrolyte for metal-air batteries having an anode containing at least one kind of metal element selected from aluminum and magnesium, may comprise an aqueous solution comprising a self-discharge inhibitor containing at least one kind of ion selected from the group consisting of an HPOanion and a Cacation and at least one kind of ion selected from the group consisting of a CHSanion, an SOanion and an SCNanion.

Electrolyte for metal-air batteries and metal-air battery

An electrolyte for iron-air batteries, which is able to increase the discharge capacity of iron-air batteries without concentration control, and an iron-air battery using the electrolyte. The electrolyte for iron-air batteries having an anode containing an iron element may comprise an aqueous solution comprising a discharge reaction promoter containing at least one kind of anion selected from the group consisting of SCNanions, SOanions and (CH)NCSSanions.
